Perched atop its cliff, it seems to mark the end of a world. By rushing into it, we have a vague impression of leaving the planet earth for an unknown universe. Initially built in the 15th century, redesigned according to Vauban's constructions in the 18th century, it was disfigured in the 20th century by a concrete block for trading. The mosaic compass rose is said to date from the time of Henry the Navigator and to have served as an instrument for the nautical school he founded in Sagres.

A voir! Un sentier longe les falaises avec des vues époustouflantes sur la mer. On y rencontre des pêcheurs qui lancent leurs lignes depuis le haut des falaises et se déplacent tels des funambules le long de celles-ci. Impressionnant!
The site offers a beautiful view of the sea and its steep cliffs. The fishermen at the line do not have vertigo!
